It Rained!

We have been very dry in this area. Most everyone here had enough moisture to bring the crops up out of the ground but we've received very little rain since we finished planting. The corn is a little over knee high now. We had 1.40" of rain last night. We were indeed blessed.
If you have enough rain to get the crop started, I've never thought that a dry spell to start the growing season was a bad thing. It seems to develope the root systems.

I've been trying to get a picture from the pontoon boat we purchased back in January. We've had it out three times and had the camera along all three times. First trip we were on the way back down the river and Marilyn asked me to look at that great last picture. I said, "Uh Marilyn, when it says 'No Flash Card' it means you don't have any pictures. On the second trip the cameras' battery was too low to work. And so these two pics were from the third trip. Marilyn snapped a photo of another storm slipping on past Burt County. And then my daughter captured two old folks sitting in a boat. Those must be our 'White Going Steady' shirts. We've been dating a looooong time.



We're off to watch a Grandsons baseball game this afternoon and help at the local rodeo again tonight. Life is good.
